What is an interactive voting clicker?

It is indeed the result of a technology that consists of connecting individual boxes to a computer system. The goal: to collect, in an individualized and identified way, not only a vote, but also an opinion, the answer to a question, a game, etc. And the participants’ response is returned in real time, either in its raw form or processed as needed (graphs, Excel tables, etc.). The system can also convert these answers into results (rankings, scores, acquired points, etc.), thus allowing use by the speaker, live, for maximum interactivity with his audience.
